Games

We were in Minnesota this weekend visiting Ben's family. My Facebook friends have been all aflutter since I mentioned that we spent an evening at Pinstripes bowling alley. It's high-end bowling: wine lists, bistro food and (my favorite!) Limoncello martinis delivered to your lane. We all had a great time. First time bowling for the boys and they LOVED it.

Minnesota had a nice snowstorm on Sunday, so Ben and his folks spent an hour digging out the snowbank at the end of the driveway so we could leave Monday. It was a loooooong drive. Around Milwaukee Ben played "I Spy" with the kids for a while. When that had run dry, Sam suggested Simon Says. He suggested it like this: "SIMON SAYS! SIMON SAYS! SIMON SAYS!"

Owen, verifying that he had correctly deciphered the name of this game, asked, "Do what Sam says?"
